Chapter 23: Give a gift
However, at this time, Chef Li Tang and Yan Yuese introduced, "Hello Mr. Miss, this dish selects about 800 grams of foie gras, 100 grams of black mushrooms, 200 grams of matsutake mushrooms, 50 grams of red garlic, 200 grams of cream, and 50 grams of butter." Bake foie gras in the oven at 220°C for 3 minutes, cool and spread with flakes of black mushrooms......"
Shi Qian, the financial manager, pursed her lips and sat at the table. She had already noticed that most of the chef's eyes just now seemed to be explaining to Lu Chuan, and combined with what the waiter said just now, the situation seemed to be obvious.
At this time, Shi Qian thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized one thing, that is, "Could the Potus red wine just now also be the owner of this shop who specially invited this Mr. Lu Chuan to taste it?" Or is it simply this Mr. Lu who ordered such an expensive red wine in advance?"
After thinking like this, Shi Qian, who pursed her lips, suddenly glanced at Lu Chuan with complicated eyes. It turned out that she had some opinions about Lu Chuan's non-participation in the chat. Now through the red wine and the enthusiastic introduction of the boss Li Tang, Shi Qian took back the views just now.
She glanced at Zhu Guangji quietly again, and found that the bank president was bowing his head, patiently listening to the chef's explanation, and unconsciously didn't realize that the young man in front of him was actually deeply hidden.
The French foie gras melts in your mouth, and the perfect combination of black mushrooms, matsutake mushroom cream and butter makes the foie gras taste completely non-greasy.
After the four of them finished tasting the dish, the waiter on the side immediately put away the plate gently.
President Zhu Guangji wiped his mouth with a napkin, and after eating foie gras and tasting red wine, his eyes were a little different when he looked at Lu Chuan. Just now, I had a little opinion about this young man, but now I was treated by him so carefully, and my heart was slightly shaken.
It's inconvenient to talk about the loan in the restaurant, so Zhu Guangji won't take the initiative to mention it, and Lu Chuan won't ask more. The two sides maintain a tacit understanding, the two sides observe each other, observe each other, observe whether the other party has the strength to cooperate, don't underestimate this simple Western meal, you can see some clues from many details.
"Well, this young man surnamed Lu seems to be quite familiar with the owner of this restaurant? Otherwise, listening to the waiter's introduction just now, he wouldn't have said that their boss had a rare time cooking today, and just looking at the bottle of red wine he opened just now, it was worth a lot of money, and the young man didn't even blink his eyes, so he could see that he didn't care about the money. From the side, it can be seen that this young man seems to have a bit of a background?"
Zhu Guangji only guessed half right, but this did not affect his initial good impression of Lu Chuan.
Shi Qian, the financial manager next to her, was waiting for the chef to serve the second dish with great anticipation. Lu Chuan here, she no longer has any doubts, anyway, the governor asked her to come out, and he also played the role of appearance. Now Lu Chuan's hospitality is so atmospheric and high-grade, a fool cares about his non-participation in the topic just now.
With the frequent toasts of the four people at the table, and with the careful explanation of Chef Li Tang every time, President Zhu Guangji only felt that the Western food was very comfortable this time, not only the ingredients and red wine were unique, but even the service of the restaurant was more advanced and intimate than any restaurant he had been to.
"Mr. Lu, it's really ashamed to say that I thought it was our bank to entertain you, but in the end I was treated by you. Zhu Guangji drank a glass and a half of red wine, and said with a ruddy face squinting slightly.
"President Zhu, you're welcome. Lu Chuan's answer was still brief, but this time Zhu Guangji and Shi Qian in front of him would not take it to heart anymore.
Shi Qian blushed slightly, and praised Lu Chuan and said, "Mr. Lu, thank you for your hospitality this time, our President Zhu said well, we should have entertained you in the bank, but now in the end you have received such hospitality, I am really a little embarrassed." But do you know the owner of this restaurant very well? I heard from the waiter that the owner seems to have not cooked for a long time. ”
Lu Chuan shook his head and smiled, being able to have these is all given by the game, so he will not accept these compliments in his heart, and he has nothing to be complacent. Although he could say that the owner of this store was a partner with him just now, he must be able to pretend to show off in front of the two of them. But as an ordinary person with an original intention, he doesn't want to get lost in money, power, flowers and praise, because the road ahead is still very long, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is along the way, it is just the scenery along the way.
Shirley beside her looked at Lu Chuan's self-humble face, and she didn't know why her boss sometimes scolded villains at parties in a high-profile manner, and sometimes she was so shy and low-key. It's getting more and more incomprehensible.
After finishing the meal, Lu Chuan Shirley left first, because both of them drank some wine, so the restaurant called a substitute driver in advance, and sent the two of them home and back to the Seaview Garden Hotel in turn.
Zhu Guangji went to the toilet temporarily, so the two left later. Just as the two of them walked out of the restaurant with slightly red cheeks and satisfied expressions, they saw the welcome lady Lina, holding a wooden box in both hands, walking down the stairs on the second floor.
"Please wait a minute, Mr. Zhu, this bottle of wine was specially ordered to be given to you by our boss Li Tang, and it will be counted as a commemorative gift for your visit to the restaurant. ”
After Lena finished speaking elegantly, Zhu Guangji was stunned for a moment, and then he asked with an inexplicable expression, "The gift that your boss gave me? Is it sure it was given to me? Not for the Mr. Lu just now?"
Lina smiled and shook her head, "This gift is specially given to you by our boss Li Tang, Mr. Zhu." ”
After hearing this, Zhu Guangji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, what kind of medicine is this restaurant owner selling in the gourd? At the beginning, he gave such an expensive red wine, and now he wants to give a gift after the meal. Looking at the box of gifts held by the welcome lady, it seems to be quite heavy, a little heavy, and it looks like what kind of red wine it is?
Zhu Guangji took the wooden box with a little hesitation, and was just about to open it, when Lina hurriedly stopped him with a smile and said, "Eh, Mr. Zhu, our boss said, please open it again when you get home." Because the wooden box packaging is difficult to disassemble, and the inside is fragile, in case it is touched or broken, you will be very distressed at that time. ”
After Lina finished speaking, she turned around with a smile and left gracefully, leaving only Zhu Guangji and Shi Qian, alone in the garden in front of the villa.
"Fragile items? This boss, what is so mysterious? Look at the wooden box, there is no label, nameplate or anything, and it is a one-time reinforced packaging, not the kind of movable wooden box, which can be opened easily. ”
Zhu Guangji fiddled with the wooden box in his hand, and then sat in the back seat of the Audi with Shi Qian, the financial manager. The substitute driver first sent Shi Qian back to her community, and then drove the car directly to Zhu Guangji's downstairs.
